But some of us don't want to wait that long

The Detroit Free Press has an article describing the future of marriage equality in Michigan. Equality Michigan is gearing up for a ballot drive in 2016 (more likely to pull Dem voters to the polls). Between now and then they will educate and raise money (they expect to need $12 million). Then they start circulating petitions. The Democrats have introduces marriage equality bills in the legislature (not expected to go far). And a federal judge is waiting for the Supremes to rule (within 20 days!) before he submits his own ruling on the constitutionality of the Michigan ban.

And, of course, Gary Glenn, the author of the 2004 amendment that bans marriage equality, is ready to defend it.



A Pew Research poll says that 72% see marriage equality as inevitable. That's considerably up from a decade ago. Even 59% of those who oppose gay marriage see it as inevitable.



I arrived home from Austin almost two weeks ago. A few days at the end of that week were warm. Since then it has been cool. That means I haven't had the air conditioner on, though I had to turn the furnace on last Friday night. Yes, this is unusual spring weather for Michigan. Many years I have the furnace running one day and AC the next.
